A total tech Convention for online sweepers, newbies and experienced. Topics could include entering safely online, alternate email addresses, showing folks how to maintain a computer, how to get an OLS account, how to set up an email account, lessons in Roboform, etc. From conversations I had at the 2005 Convention, aged sweepers had actually won computers but gave them away because they did not know the first thing about them. What a shame. The amount of postage they were using a month from their pensions was shameful when they could have been entering online for a fraction of the cost, even with the internet and an OLS subscription. (and winning!) Conventionees could visit presenters tables for in depth information on the topics that interested them. Scheduled lectures could be attended by those so desiring. I see more up and mingling, gathering information, learning! Conventions should be a place to LEARN new things and what a ripe opportunity online entering presents. Truly one could make more $ educating folks in this aspect of sweeping than any other! Just ask Brent! I vote for OLS to host a convention!

I went out to Detroit and met the Wolverines and the clubs up in that area in Apirl for Al's mini convention. I highly recommend getting in your registration to their convention as soon as this Phoenix one is over. There probably won't be as many spots open (that will be announced in Phoenix so maybe one of us going there can post to this board). Anyhoo, the members of the club are really great and the area was nice. We took a trip over to The Henry Ford Museum and Village. It is worth the time to spend the extra two days there to go through them if it is not a side trip already. You do need two days there though.

I would think if PHoenix sold out as fast as it did this year then Detroit will only sell out faster since it's located in central USA.

Hey guys there's always Hershey in October and there's still room!!

Hi! I'm fairly new to OLS, just a few months, but this caught my eye, because I am just over the DE/PA border and Hershey is not a ridiculous drive. Can anyone tell me what this post is referencing in October??? Thanks!!!
